Figueroa's 2B in 9th leads Rays past Red Sox 1-0 - 0 Comments

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Cole Figueroa's first big league RBI was a big one.

Figueroa had a pinch-hit, run-scoring double in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Tampa Bay Rays a 1-0 victory against the Boston Red Sox on Friday night.

"It was kind of last minute," said Figueroa, who was told by bench coach Dave Martinez about the upcoming at-bat. "Davey came over and said 'If the righty comes in, we're going to pinch hit, and you're going to go up and win the game for us.'"
